Raiders keep two punters, too

Plenty of teams have half as many punters as they have quarterbacks. But those teams have only two quarterbacks.

The Raiders have four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster — and two punters.

The battle between Marquette King and veteran Chris Kluwe continues beyond the mandatory cut to 53 players, with no clear sign whether King or Kluwe, or both, will be on the team when Week One commences.

Neither of the two punters ran away with the job, and coach Dennis Allen acknowledged that the job may be determined by the punter’s ability to hold for extra points and kickoffs.

It’s also possible that the Raiders will attempt to trade one of the two punters to a team looking to upgrade its situation.

I remember when my team, the Packers years ago kept two punters on the roster all year. That was a horrible decision and had Packers fans angry! Helped cost Mike Sherman his job as GM and a year and a half later, as head coach.

seriously are the raiders trying to compete with the jets for the biggest NFL Circus

———————————————————-

The Raiders haven’t had a winning season in 10 years.. the longest streak of futility in NFL history. The Jets mess pales in comparison.

“Lighten up Francis”…. It’s just until they see what’s available on the waiver wire.. they’ll try to trade one of the punters if they can get anything for either of them… but this team is so devoid of talent, that truly they might find better in other people’s scrap heaps……
